We're looking for an experienced Principal Software Engineer to develop and implement software solutions for robotics systems, focusing on functionality, reliability, and performance. 

How will you be part of the team? 

  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers, to design and optimize robotic solutions for real-world applications.

  • This is a general purpose software role focused on designing, developing and testing software for robotic systems. This may include motion planning, navigation, and control algorithms.

  • Implement and optimize software for embedded systems, sensors, and actuators.

  •  Collaborate with hardware teams to integrate software with mechanical and electrical components.

  • Develop simulation environments to test and validate algorithms and system behavior.

  • Write and maintain clean, efficient, and well-documented code.

  • Debug and troubleshoot software issues in prototypes and deployed systems.

  • Participate in system architecture design and contribute to defining software requirements.

  • Develop and refine algorithms for mobile robots, including mapping, obstacle avoidance, and voice command integration.

  • Stay up-to-date with advancements in robotics and software engineering, and incorporate best practices into development processes.

What does an ideal background look like?

  • Education: BS, MS, or PhD in relevant fields (Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, etc.)

  • Experience: 5+ years (or 5+ with a graduate degree) of robotic hardware and software integration.

  • Technical Skills: Strong modern C++, OOP skills, multi-threading, and Linux application development.

  • Deep knowledge of robotics fundamentals (kinematics, dynamics, controls, estimation, and system identification).

  • Proven experience with controls software integration, especially with hardware abstraction layers for sensors and actuators.

  • Proficiency with robotics packages (ROS, URDF, MuJoCo, Eigen, etc.)

  • Familiarity with software testing methodologies and version control (e.g., TDD, Git).

  • Strong communication skills and familiarity with Agile processes (sprint planning, design/code reviews).

What are additional examples of skills that would make a candidate stand out?

  • Experience with AI and machine learning in robotics applications.

  • Knowledge of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and embedded systems programming.

  •  Background in computer vision or deep learning frameworks.

  • Experience with cloud-based robotics platforms and IoT integration.

  • Familiarity with agile development methodologies.

Persona AI embraces diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
